Review of The Public Eye

I first saw this film in a 1930's-40's movie theater (with the original large screen) and it fit perfectly with its noir themes and 40s style costumes. I had come to see it as a double feature with 'Delicatessen', and was surprised by the artistically satisfying black and white still photography that was flashed on the screen as examples of the main character's work. The actors well-crafted, enigmatic performances and the lavish interiors set an ambient mood that will stay with you after the film is over.
